All-time ultimate mock draft, pick No. 16
Every day or so leading up to the NFL Draft on April 26-27, "Greatest Pro Bowls of all time, and other stuff" will go from pick No. 32 to pick No. 1, recalling the greatest players ever selected in those spots.
The ultimate all-time mock draft marches on with pick No. 16 ...
Jerry Rice, WR, San Francisco 49ers (1985, Mississippi Valley State)
This is the ultimate no-brainer pick in the all-time ultimate mock draft. Rice owns virtually every significant pass receiving record and has a ridiculous list of career accomplishments, including 13 Pro Bowls, a Super Bowl MVP award, two offensive player of the year awards, being named to the NFL's 76th anniversary all-time team and being a member of both the 1980s and 1990s all-decade teams. When Rice set the record for touchdown receptions in one season with 22 in the strike-shortened 1987 season (since broken by Randy Moss, who had 23 scores in 2007), the next closest player -- Mike Quick -- had 11 touchdowns.
The one title that Rice does not possess is the Dancing with the Stars title that Emmitt Smith eventually won. In Season 2 of the series, Rice placed second in the dance competition with partner Anna Trebunskaya.
Other notable players selected at No. 16 include ...
Dan McGwire, QB, Seattle Seahawks (1991), who was selected seven spots ahead of Todd Marinovich and 17 spots ahead of future Hall of Famer Brett Favre.
Jim Richter, OG, Buffalo Bills (1980), who played on all four of the Buffalo Bills' Super Bowl teams.
Elmo Wright, WR, Kansas City Chiefs (1971), who is credited with being the father of the end zone dance.
Gene Washington, WR, San Francisco 49ers (1969), who was a four-time Pro Bowler and is now the director of football operations for the NFL.
Current NFL players selected at No. 16: Justin Harrell, DT, Green Bay Packers (2007, Tennessee); Jason Allen, CB, Miami Dolphins (2006, Tennessee); Travis Johnson, DT, Houston Texans (2005, Florida State); Shawn Andrews, OT, Philadelphia Eagles (2004, Arkansas); Troy Polamalu, S, Pittsburgh Steelers (2003, USC); Santana Moss, WR, New York Jets (2001, Miami, Fla.); Julian Peterson, LB, San Francisco 49ers (2000, Michigan State); Jevon Kearse, DE, Tennessee Titans (1999, Florida).

All-time ultimate mock draft, pick No. 17
Every day or so leading up to the NFL Draft on April 26-27, "Greatest Pro Bowls of all time, and other stuff" will go from pick No. 32 to pick No. 1, recalling the greatest players ever selected in those spots.
The ultimate all-time mock draft continues with pick No. 17 ...
Emmitt Smith, RB, Dallas Cowboys (1990, Florida)
One of the most complete players to ever play the position of running back, Smith was the first player in NFL history to rush for 1,400 or more yards in five consecutive seasons. His durability and knack for finding a running lane resulted in Smith becoming the NFL's all-time leading rusher with 18,355 yards, breaking a record previously held by Walter Payton.
Smith's running lifted the Cowboys to three Super Bowl victories, including an MVP effort in Super Bowl XXVIII.
Smith is also the only player in the ultimate all-time mock draft to have won Dancing with the Stars, teaming with professional dancer Cheryl Burke to take first in the competition in the fall of 2006. Smith was heralded for "making dancing look manly."
Other notable players selected at No. 17 include ...
Doug Williams, QB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1978), who made history when the Redskins won Super Bowl XXII.
Gene Upshaw, G, Oakland Raiders (1967, Texas A&M), who was the first player who played exclusively at guard to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Mel Renfro, DB, Dallas Cowboys (1964, Oregon), who played 14 seasons for the Cowboys, helping lead Dallas to four Super Bowl appearances, including two wins.
Current NFL players selected at No. 17: Jarvis Moss, DE, Denver Broncos (2007, Florida); Chad Greenway, LB, Minnesota Vikings (2006, Iowa); D.J. Williams, LB, Denver Broncos (2004, Miami, Fla.); Bryant Johnson, WR, Arizona Cardinals (2003, Penn State); Phillip Buchanon, CB, Oakland Raiders (2002, Miami, Fla.); Steve Hutchinson, OG, Seattle Seahawks (2001, Michigan); Sebastian Janikowski, K, Oakland Raiders (2000, Florida State); Damien Woody, C, New England Patriots (1999, Boston College); Brian Simmons, LB, Cincinnati Bengals (1998, North Carolina).

All-time ultimate mock draft, pick No. 18
Every day or so leading up to the NFL Draft on April 26-27, "Greatest Pro Bowls of all time, and other stuff" will go from pick No. 32 to pick No. 1, recalling the greatest players ever selected in those spots.
The ultimate all-time mock draft continues with pick No. 18 ...
Paul Krause, S, Washington Redskins (1964, Iowa)
Talk about making an impact in your rookie season, Krause picked off 12 passes in his first season with the Redskins in 1964. When was the last time the NFL had a player intercept 12 or more passes? You have to go all the way back to 1980, when the Oakland Raiders' Lester Hayes picked off 13 passes.
That 1964 season propelled Krause to become the NFL's all-time leader with 81 interceptions, which were collected over the course of a 16-year NFL career. Krause was eventually traded to the Vikings, with whom he was the starting free safety on all four of the Vikings' Super Bowl teams. Krause was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998.
Other notable players selected at No. 18 include ...
Art Monk, WR, Washington Redskins (1980, Syracuse), who will be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame this year.
Jim Hill, DB, San Diego Chargers (1968, Texas A&M-Kingsville), who is famous in the Los Angeles area for his sports reporting on CBS channel 2's Sports Central.
John Henry Johnson, FB, Pittsburgh Steelers (1953, Arizona State), who was a part of the 49ers' famed "Million Dollar Backfield" that also included Hall of Famers Hugh McElhenny, Y.A. Tittle and Joe Perry.
Frank "Bruiser" Kinard, T, Brooklyn Dodgers (1938, Mississippi), who weighed just 195 pounds, but packed enough of a punch to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1971.
Tuffy Leemans, B, New York Giants (1936, George Washington), who was a member of the NFL's very first draft class (in 1936), helped the Giants contend for the league title on an annual basis, and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1978.
Current NFL players selected at No. 18: Leon Hall, CB, Cincinnati Bengals (2007, Michigan); Bobby Carpenter, LB, Dallas Cowboys (2006, Ohio State); Erasmus James, DE, Minnesota Vikings (2005, Wisconsin); Will Smith, DE, New Orleans Saints (2004, Ohio State); Calvin Pace, DE, Arizona Cardinals (2003, Wake Forest); T.J. Duckett, RB, Atlanta Falcons (2002, Michigan State); Jeff Backus, OT, Detroit Lions (2001, Michigan); Chad Pennington, QB, New York Jets (2000, Marshall); Eddie Kennison, WR, St. Louis Rams (1996, LSU).
